• Time and again, we've read where most folks get their lottery numbers as 'Quick Picks' (or as they say in the UK, ('Lucky Dips').
• What do you do when there's a certain 'hot' number, or a favorite number, or a 'lucky' number that you'd like to have show in each row of numbers on your 'Quick Picks'?.
• What do you do when you'd like to eliminate (reject) some of the numbers from each row of your 'Quick Picks' because you're fairly certain that the numbers won't appear in the next drawing?
• Welcome to Chux Ball Buster - A Lottery Number Picker!
  Now you can ..."have your cake..." (Quick Picks) "...and eat it, too!", i.e. (Preselect & Reject)
• The 'Presections' button will let you preselect a number from any of the' Lucky Machines'.
  Let's say you want '2' to be the Thou (thousands) digit in every one of your Pick 4 numbers.  Click on 'Preselect'.  The 'Preselection' screen appears. 
  Under the 'Thou' chart, click on '2'.  The '2' changes color.
  Click the 'Update' button and the 'Preselection' screen disappears, but now your 'Preslection' of '2' appears under the Thou on main 'Pick 4' screen.
  Until you change that preselected '2', it will appear on every row (board), in the Thou position, of your 'Quick Picks'.
  To make the Preselection go away, click on the 'Preselection' button again.
  When the Preselections screen appears, click on the '2' in the 'Thou' chart, and the color turns back to neutral.
  Click on the 'Update' button and when the Preselection screen disappears, the '2' no longer shows on the main 'Pick 4' screen; and from now on should only appear in your 'Quick Picks' randomly.
  You can even preselect numbers from as many as three of the machines, but be aware that leaves only ten possible 4-digit number combinations. You should expect duplcate numbers more frequently as you fill out one or more cards.
• If you really like that digit '2' in the Thou machine, but you'd like a '5' or a '7' to appear there once in awhile; but nothing else, then...
  For that you want to 'Reject' all the digits in the Thou machine except '2', '5', & '7'.
• The 'Rejections' button will let you prevent the numbers you don't want from appearing in your 'Quick Picks'.  From each machine, you can reject up through 8 digits.  If you wanted to reject 9 digits from a machine, you might as well make a Preselection, right?

• Both the Preselections and Rejections address the matter of how to 'Play' your Pick 4 Quick Picks.  Unless you preselect a particular 'Play' or reject one or more possible 'Play' types, Chux Ball Buster will randomly suggest a way to 'Play' each board on the card. If you wish, you can reject all 9 possible play types and the fourth column on your card will remain blank.  The explanations of the 9 different Play types are described below in the 'Typical instructions...'.
• If you want to change Preselections and/or Rejections as you fill out a card, you can do it.  Only click 'Pick a Single Board' button, make your changes, and then click 'Pick a Single Board' button again.
• If you have a card partially filled out, you can click the 'Fill Card with Picks' button to fill out the remainder of the card (with the machines honoring any Preselctions and/or Rejections).
• If you like, you can 'Shuffle Thou, Hund, Tens, and Ones' to your heart's content. The digits are then selected from the shuffled numbers instead of a zero through nine sequence (and always honoring any preselections and/or rejections).  The 'Plays' get shuffled as well.
  Even the quantity of shuffles is a random number of times from 4 through 11.
• You can undo the shuffle by clicking on 'Reset Thou, Hund, Tens, and Ones'.  The digits and Plays are restored back to their original sequence, minus any rejections you may have in effect at the time.
• Important Note!  Don't confuse 'Reset Thou, Hund, Tens, and Ones' with clicking on 'Reset All' up in the menu bar.  'Reset Thou, Hund, Tens, and Ones' affects only the 4 machines. 'Reset All' restores the entire screen back to the condition when you first came to it.  'Reset All' clears out all your Preselections, Rejections, shuffles, and any cards (playslips). 'Reset All' also clears out any accumulations of filled out cards.  If you want to save your Pick 4 numbers, click on 'Your Results' to see the accumulation and either print them or 'copy and paste' them into a word processor to save for later.
• The Fun Stuff:  'Preselections' and 'Rejections'. These are explained in more detail when you click on the 'About' button, up in the Menu Bar.
